Lapband by JC

Wednesday May 17, 2006

Greetings folks.

This blog is going to detail my life with a LAPBAND. I am probably going to have this done the week after Father's Day.

I have been thinking about this procedure for quite a while.

But first, I'll give you a little background.

White Male 43 years old
Cincinnati Ohio
6'4" 346 pounds, per my scale (Wearing boxer shorts and a smile) 360 on the doctor's scale.

I've saved all the emails between a friend who was banded in December 2005, and will be posting them here. BUBBA has lost 100 POUNDS since December.

My weight goal is to get to 240 from 36o on the doctor's scale.

But weight loss is not the ONLY goal I have. I want to regain the abilties I've lost since I've gained so much weight.

I have:
High Blood Pressure
Sleep Apnea
Hiatal Hernia

Hopefully the LAP BAND and following the new diet will give me the ability to get back to enjoying my life, not just letting it pass by.
